Cheeses From Another Udder: Alternative Milk Cheeses

Cheese is consistently a crowd-pleaser. From slices of cheddar on burgers to a glamorous cheese plate for dessert, this is party food at its finest. And the best parties – like the best cheese plates – are diverse and well rounded.

Cheddar, Brie and Gorgonzola are beloved staples, and they have one very specific thing in common – they are all crafted from cow’s milk. We’re all for cow’s milk cheeses, but in order to have a serious party (or cheese plate), we’ve got to invite alternative milk cheeses. Let’s explore them together.

@DEB - I would suggest calling the specific store you plan to shop with in Seattle to see what they have in stock. Our products can vary between stores in the same region.

very much looking forward to Whole Foods cheese section. I hope you'll consider carring Rublechon regularly. A competitor used to carry it but stopped. It may need a bit of promoting via sampling but it's AWESOME

I saw where Treeline Cheese was mentioned on Facebook. A lot of the people are veggan so they are always looking to anything without meat. Can you tell me if you have this or will be getting it anytime soon. Thank you.

@TOBA - Most of our stores should offer an almond or rice milk option. Since our products will differ between stores, check with your local store to see if they have this in stock.
